20+ years ago the SPLC won a civil law suit against Tom Metzger, his son, and his white supremacist group. The suit was on behalf of a victim of a vicious murder by skinheads of a defenseless black man.

Why does the SPLC get lots of money and get to define what is politically correct, and what is hate speech, and what groups should be persona non gratis and what groups should be illegal, and yet they are a private organization with their own agenda of gun control and pro racism, but for their own.

They do not deserve to have this power and influence with law enforcement in my opinion. These are government functions that even the government should not be doing.

Importantly, the SPLC is nothing more than a “barratry”(*) scam. A bunch of white take generous donations from liberal organizations to harass, defame and sue conservative organizations by associating them with real hate groups.

(*) barratry - The offense of persistently instigating lawsuits, typically groundless ones. Lawyers who engage in this are sometimes disbarred.
